From January to 31 March 2012, covering the worst of the winter period, Tameside CAB will be at the forefront of a special initiative to give extra support to the most vulnerable in our community who might otherwise experience health consequences as a result of the cold. In participation with Tameside MBC, CAB will undertake additional work to focus on maximising income, providing additional resources for assistance and advice in making benefit claims, helping with grant applications, and winter fuel allowance queries and provision of food parcels. Additional appointments, telephone advice, and specialist teams of advisers will be available to provide fuel debt advice, housing advice, particularly on disrepair and heating. Printed information about the Toasty Tameside, Warm Homes Healthy People, and Warm Home Discount schemes will be available from CAB outlets throughout Tameside and also from the Choice one stop information shop on Stamford Street, Ashton, to inform clients of the wide range of help possible. To ensure maximum help gets through to those who most need it we need the help of family, friends and neighbours to encourage and persuade anybody who might possibly need help to seek our advice now.
